Someone told me they messaged me on WhatsApp, but I can’t find their chat. How do I search for them without their number?

WhatsApp only allows one to find a person when one knows their phone number. WhatsApp does not include a username search, people directory, and geo-positioning to preserve the privacy of users.

To find someone on WhatsApp, just save their phone number in your phone’s contacts, open WhatsApp, refresh your contact list if needed, and the person should appear automatically in your WhatsApp contacts if they are registered on the app.

WhatsApp uses phone numbers as unique identifiers. To find someone, you must first save their full international phone number (including country code) to your phone's contacts. Next, launch WhatsApp, tap the New Chat icon (pencil or speech bubble), and refresh your contacts list. If they are a user, their name will show up.

You can find someone on WhatsApp by saving their phone number in your contacts.
